For me, a search function that works well in cloud storage is very important. Personally, I’d also like the search to include the contents of the files. That way, I can find documents even without knowing their filenames. With a large number of documents, this can quickly become very complicated.
Accordingly, I see many advantages in being able to use just one keyword—for example, “insurance”—to immediately get a list of all files related to the topic of insurance. This saves me time because I don't have to search the cloud for a specific file. Even old files that may have been lost and are stored somewhere on the drive can be located quickly and efficiently this way.

For me to shift I need most of the basic features of OneDrive - searching inside PDFs (and in a modern context searching for text in images) is a non-starter basic function that will have to be there for me to moce.

Proton Drive is great, and I pay for a lot of storage (I have 6+TB), but with a large drive space, searchability is even more important!

Right now when I click to search, I get the 'indexing' message, which is fine, but then in a few moments it tells me my file storage has too many files and can't be indexed - what?!?!?!

Even if I can't search within files, I want to at least be able to search filenames, no matter how many filenames are in my drive.

C'mon, Proton, let those powerful servers do their job and index/search as much as the user needs (and pays for - and I'm a Visionary user - paying lot$ for my Proton).

thanks

Add a built-in search feature inside the cloud storage application that allows users to search only within the cloud environment.

Currently, users can rely on the operating system’s global search, but this is not always convenient and may return results outside the cloud scope. An internal search would allow users to quickly find files and folders directly within their cloud storage without leaving the app or filtering system-wide results.
